Sketch for our initial ideas for the road back home.

The mission of 'The Road Back Home' is to spread awareness on the and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action, more specifically calls to Action 1, 4 and 5 which focus on Child Welfare for Indigenous children.

The Road Back Home Process Work.

Our designed choices were guided through our demo script, which the environments and emotional storytelling. We aim to continue our story and script with help from collaborators in order to portray this current issue the best way possible.
